Default how many of each colour Rover or MG ZT made

I know this information is somewhere, and hope someone can just direct me to the relevant place. Can't seem to find it when you want to.
I was wanting to find out how many chromactive MG ZTs were made, and of each specific colour. There were lists of this information somewhere, so I'd appreciate a gentle reminder of where to look. Thanks

On a tangent with all the info from above do with think MG Rover had too many colour choices ? The cost of R&D and production must of cost a fortune.

The Monogram options above started at about £1800 extra per car so presume it was an attempt at money making

With the public perception of bad reliability, I would of thought the money could of been spent on better things. But saying that they were throwing money at some daft projects.

Actually, the Monogram scheme was by far one of their better ideas, both in terms of marketing and economics. Being a small, relatively low volume manufacturer operating out of one site allowed MG Rover a high level of flexibility, enabling them to offer the special order build extras that larger manufacturers would struggle to.

The Monogram paint fininshes were not cheap owing to the cost of the paint and the extra work involved hand painting each car.
